Henry J. Sadowski
Henry J. Sadowski Former Regional Counsel, Bureau of Prison, From a review on the NACDL website
“Each chapter is necessary reading for any defense attorney with a client facing possible incarceration… The chapter titled “How to Do Time” should be required reading for any inmate entering federal prison… This chapter (like the other parts of the book) is bursting with practical common sense advice.”

“Simply put, the Federal Prison Guidebook is indispensable — for criminal defense lawyers, judges, U.S. Attorneys, probation officers, and individuals (along with their families) facing federal time.”
Doug Berman
Doug BermanFrom a review on his Sentencing Law and Policy blog
“Whenever I am asked questions about federal prison realities, I always urge folks to seek more information from Alan Ellis, who literally wrote the book (actually, a number of books) on these matters. My faith in Alan Ellis as the go-to resource was confirmed this past week when I received in the mail the latest, greatest, updated edition of the Federal Prison Guidebook.”
